EIGHT PARTS OF SPEECH

1. Noun (ónoma): a part of speech inflected for case,
signifying a concrete or abstract entity
2. Verb (rhêma): a part of speech without case inflection,
but inflected for tense, person and number, signifying
an activity or process performed or undergone
3. Participle (metokhḗ): a part of speech sharing features
of the verb and the noun
4. Article (árthron): a declinable part of speech, taken to
include the definite article, but also the basic relative
pronoun
5. Pronoun (antōnymíā): a part of speech substitutable
for a noun and marked for a person
6. Preposition (próthesis): a part of speech placed before
other words in composition and in syntax
7. Adverb (epírrhēma): a part of speech without
inflection, in modification of or in addition to a verb,
adjective, clause, sentence, or other adverb
8. Conjunction (sýndesmos): a part of speech binding
together the discourse and filling gaps in its
interpretation
Noun (names)

a word or lexical item denoting any abstract (abstract noun: e.g.

home) or concrete entity (concrete noun: e.g. house); a person (police
officer, Michael), place (coastline, London), thing (necktie, television),
idea (happiness), or quality (bravery). Nouns can also be classified as
count nouns or non-count nouns; some can belong to either category.
The most common part of speech; they are called naming words.

Pronoun (replace or again placed)

a substitute for a noun or noun phrase (them, he). Pronouns make

sentences shorter and clearer since they replace nouns.

Adjective (describes, limits)

a modifier of a noun or pronoun (big, brave). Adjectives make the

meaning of another word (noun) more precise.

Verb (states action or being)

a word denoting an action (walk), occurrence (happen), or state of

being (be). Without a verb a group of words cannot be a clause or
sentence.

Adverb (describes, limits)

a modifier of an adjective, verb, or another adverb (very, quite).

Adverbs make language more precise.

Preposition (relates)

a word that relates words to each other in a phrase or sentence and

aids in syntactic context (in, of). Prepositions show the relationship
between a noun or a pronoun with another word in the sentence.
Conjunction (connects)

a syntactic connector; links words, phrases, or clauses (and, but).

Conjunctions connect words or group of words
